Unappealable pole of Aleix Espargaró in Montmeló

The Aprilia rider, a native of Granollers, barely five minutes from the ‘Circuit’, was even able to lower the absolute track record, which he himself had certified in the morning test.

This is the second time in 2022 that the oldest of the Espargaró will start first, after having done it in Argentina, where on Sunday he took his first victory in the heavy motorcycle category.

The #41 will be accompanied on the front row by Pecco Bagnaia (second) and Fabio Quartararo, who, on paper, must dispute the title with him.

The second line will be monopolized by the Ducatis of Johann Zarco (fourth), Fabio Di Giannantonio (fifth) and Jorge Martín (sixth), while in the third line it will be formed by Alex Rins (seventh), accompanied by Maverick Viñales (eighth) and Luca Marini, who will start the ninth.

Pol Espargaró was the tenth, from which Jack Miller was left out. Of those who could not pass to the second sieve of the timed standings, the 17th place of Joan Mir stands out, who again has a lot of work to do.
